The Zuckerberg-Musk Double Act

Is Mark Zuckerberg auditioning for the role of Elon Musk’s Mini-Me? We’re kidding, but it is uncanny how much Zuckerberg seems to be following Musk’s lead lately. In the latest example, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that Meta Platforms is considering moving its legal incorporation to Texas, out of Delaware, just as Tesla did last year. 

This follows Zuckerberg’s recent decision to adopt a “community notes” feature for fact-checking within Meta’s apps, as in Musk’s X. Then there’s Zuckerberg’s pullback on DEI, his podcast chatter about “masculine energy,” and Meta’s support of Musk’s challenge to OpenAI’s for-profit conversion. The days when these two were talking about a cage match seem to be far in the rearview mirror.
